-I'm not getting combined characters for the umlaut with 2.0 trunk-. Interestingly enough, Adobe Acrobat strips the umlaut and OSX Preview extracts it as "fu ̈r", so it's not clear that we really need to be trying to combine it.

Update: Passing {{-encoding "UTF-8"}} to ExtractText gets me the combined characters as expected.
